Indonesia scores 82/100 on the Global Tobacco Industry Interference Index 2025, yet tobacco ads still flood schools & youth events across Southeast Asia. Influencer marketing & greenwashing keep targeting the next generation. bit.ly/4uA2KWT

I was inspired by the dedication and energy of youth activists working to protect young people from products, including e-cigarettes, vapes and nicotine pouches.
These health champions, representing organizations including the @GYV_movement and @TheGGTC, are making their voices heard at the @WHO @FCTCofficial #COP11.
They told me how concerned they are by the targeting of children and teenagers by companies that make these products for profit, and the great risk they pose from addiction and eventual use of tobacco products.
On #WorldChildrensDay, I encourage all young people to stand up for their health and encourage their governments to strengthen protections against these harmful products.

The #GlobalTobaccoIndex2025 shows the tobacco industry intensifying efforts to block tobacco taxes—a proven @WHO “Best Buy” to cut use.
- Tobacco taxes save lives but cut industry profits, so the tobacco industry fights them worldwide.
- 10 governments gave in and didn’t raise taxes.

1/3 NEW! @thehill reports on the 2025 U.S. #TobaccoIndustryInterference Index by @ASHorg, revealing an increase in tobacco industry interference in US policymaking. The low score is linked to the lack of transparency in industry interactions with the government. #ExcludeTobacco🔗 thehill.com/homenews/5580366…

The future plastics treaty is being hailed as an environmental breakthrough, but in its current form, it risks weakening the WHO tobacco convention, and handing the tobacco industry the tools to expand its market, ✍️ Deborah Sy, @TheGGTC ipsnews.net/2025/08/are-nego…

It's time to put an end to the unnecessary single-use plastic of #cigarette filters, and #INC5 for the #PlasticsTreaty is the mechanism to do it. Cigarette filters serve no purpose and have no health benefit.@ashorg @theggtc @exposetobacco @PartnershipFree @unfairtobacco
By 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean.
Small changes in our daily habits can have a big impact for our planet.
